The IM gateway in CFMX7 really is cool!!! - I took great delight showing .NET programmers the simplicity of the implementation this afternoon at work. We’re a mixed environment where I work, MS on servers and the desktop, MS SQL Db’s, ASP.NET CRM environment, desktop finance/procurement application (with Java-Servlet Exec web end) and then CFMX7 for our intranet (standard) and internet (enterprise) sites.
The simplicity of the IM/SMS gateways has gotten everything thinking how we could employ them in our environments. One option is for monitoring and alerting. Because of the diverse platforms we may look to implement a webservice messaging gateway so various applications can post into a CFMX hosted webservice to forward alerts via the IM/SMS gateways. It’s probably something I’ll look into implementing into my cfhealthmonitor tool too! All in all, exciting times! I’ll repeat myself - if only event gateways were available in a limited form on CF Standard!!

What did you use to create your healthmonitor tool. Did you use any custom snmp CFC? I am curious. I do network monitoring and would like to create a network device monitoring system in ColdFusion.
